"Both electricians/contractors were very professional and friendly. I showed them the room (aka a nursery with a vaulted ceiling) as well as the ceiling light replacement, and they immediately got to work. They finished in less than 30 minutes instead of the 1 hour I was told over the phone. They were honest and charged for half-hour."

Specializing on bringing homes into the 21st century with almost a decade of experience in the industry. We offer services for a whole spectrum of power and lighting needs. Whether that be smart homes, ADU’s, workshops, panel upgrades, can lights, electric hot water heaters, ovens or if you’re trying to get rid of that pre - 60’s knob and tube wiring and everything in between we’ve got you covered. Our motto is to always leave a customers property better than we found it, while working with you to help your vision come to fruition.
"Originally Tanner was 5 STARS until he took $4,500 and didn't finish the job. I had to pay another electrician $3,000 to fix Tanners work and finish putting electricity. Tanner bid and quoted my electrical job for $6k. As with reputable professionals, he asked for 50% when he started the job, which was $3k. He asked for more money along the way which I wasn't comfortable with but gave it to him. After paying 4,500, I had no heat, no hot water, no lights, basically nothing but one outlet that he charged me an extra $300. He failed to put outlets in places that are normal for a house, he didn't provide a switch to turn on/off the hallway lights, and more. He texted me on the day he was to finish the job and has ghosted me since. DO NOT HIRE Tanner as he's not skilled and not trustworthy. Sad thing is that a close friend recommended him and Tanner took advantage of me, a single retired lady just trying to remodel a house. See you in small claims court. I will also file with the appropriate licensing agency so that others don't lose their money."

Generator installations FAQs
Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:
Portable generator:
2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers.
4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.
8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.
Partial to whole-house generator:
20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
